HIGH SCHOOL NOTES, '
Items Of Interest From 'The Acropolis
On The Hill.
Wednesday afternoon of last week,
a very interesting debate was held in
Form III. The leader of the affirma-
tive was W. J. McLean, and of the
negative, Miss M. L. Ross. Excellent
papers were given by both sides, but
it was deckled that the negative had
the better by a few points.
The hockey match which was an-
nounced to have come off last Friday
evening, between our boys and the
Wioghaua Juniors, was postponed on
account of the condition of the ice,
The debate for last week's Lit. was
unavoidably prevented 'from taking
place on account of the illness of R.
Stackhouse. The program, however,
was very good and consisted of musi-
cal selections and impromptu speeches.
If possible, the debate will come off at
the next meeting, on Feb. 28. One
feature of all the programs, which is
very interesting to all the students, is
the reading of the High School Jour-
nal. Mr. Smith pex•forned the duties
of critic at the last meeting. •

WING TAM, ONT., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1908.
Local Option Recount.
The recount of the votes in the
recent Local Option contest in
Howick was held in Gorrie, on Tues-
day of this week, before Judge Doyle,
It resulted in adding one vote to each
side, and does not change the
situation..
New Telephone Connection.
Tho private telephone system run-
ning from Fordwieh to points in the
townships of Howick and Wallace has
been connected at Fordwich with the.
Bell Telephone lines, so that an
exchange of conversations over the
two systems is now possible.
For Friday Evening.
A lively game of hockey dated for
Friday evening this week, Listowel
team will play the local team in the
Winghani rink. As Listowel has
only been beaten once this season, and
1Vingham boys are playing fast
hockey, an interesting game is assur-
ed. The Band will be in attendance.
The boys will appreciate a big
attendance.
The Canning Factory Propose!.
The Board of Trade and a number
of interested citizens tnet on Tuesday
evening to consider the question of
establishing a Canning factory in
Wingham. President R. Clegg had
made enquiries and ascertained that it
would require a plant costing $20,000,
and at least $10,000 floating capital.
This was considered out of proportion
to the possible benefits, and a motion
was passed to proceed no further with
the' matter. The party who started
the movement by offering to take $500
stock was not present, at least, did
not declare himself, He is still behind
the curtain.
New Building Occupied.
The office fittings of the new build-
ing of the Canadian Bank of Com-
merce, arrived on Friday last, after
considerable delay on account of the
recent blockade. They were at once
placed in position, and manager A. E.
Smith and his assistants will move in
some day this week. The furnishings
are handsome, and substantial, and
the office arrangements appear to
have been so well provided for, that
nothing has been omitted. The fine
building was fully described in these
columns a few weeks ago, and all that
is now necessary is to report its occu-
pation, and congratulate Mr. Smith
and his staff upon the convenient
and comfortable quarters they now
enjoy.
Some new Parlor suites just receiv-
ed, and we will give low prices, that
will make it pay you to buy now. A
four -piece suite, as low as -$15, at S.
Gracey's.
LOCAL OPTION NOTES.
By the Local Option Literature
Committee.
The liquor dealers of Canada pay
into the public treasury for license
$10,000,000 each year, and the public
pay the liquor dealers for drink each
year $150,000,000. Now, any school
boy can tell you that $140,000,000 is
the less we sustain. Not only is there
a financial loss, which the above
figures is only the direct amount, but
consider the misery it carries in its
trail, the four miles of graves dug
each year to accommodate its victims,
the hunger and starvation of the inno-
cent, the many weary days behind the
prison bars, etc., etc., and then ask
yourself the question. "Could I vote
to maintain this awful traffic ?"
Would you like to see Xouit son a
drunkard ? Other men's sons, who
were once as pure as yours is today,
grew up to be such. Drink is very
alluring, and while the temptation
exists, there is great danger of such a
thing happening. As a sensible man
make up your mind to do all in your
power to banish this curse, and when
the time cornea to. use your vote arid
influence, do What you know is right
for the betterment of your fellow
man.
No man owning residential property
would dare to have a hotel or saloom
adjoining Jt, it would he considered of
less value ort that account. The
environments -to raise a family in
would not he considered choice, W.e
look upon these places as blemishes, a
breeding piece of sin and lawlessness
of many kind. Lot us have a change
by trying Local Option, and this we
are sure will bring In a, bettor condi;
tion of affairs,
CARD op THANKS.
We wish to thank one many kind
friends and neighbors for the many

ance given tis, during Mr. Henderson's

Died In Los Angeles.
Last week, Mr. and Mrs. Findleter
of Morris received word of the death
of their daughter, Margaret, in Los
Angeles, Cal. She had been in the
hospital, but' had recovered. A
relapse followed, and she was obliged
to return to the hospital. Nord was
sent to her friends, and her sister
started at once for Los Angeles.
Shortly after, • a second messago.arriv-
ed announcing her death. Miss Find -
later was well-known, and the bereav-
ed family will be sympathized with in
their sorrow.
Wingham 7; Harriston 6.
Wingham hockeyists defeated Har-
riston players in a very fast game in
Harriston on .Friday evening; at half-
time, the Harriston Bronohos led by
a score of 0:2. The Winghani teats.
then got down to hard play, and
though the Bronchos did their best,
Wingham swept the ice like a cyclone,
and the game closed with a victory
for them on a score of 7-0. The line-
up: Wingham—Britton, goal; Moore,
point ; Johnston, cover ; T. Elliott,
rover; A. Fleming, centre; McLean,

Buteau Of Public Health,
In the House of Commons on the
5th inst., Dr. J. B. Black, the Liberal
member for Hants, Nova Scotia,
moved—
"That, in the opinion of this
House, the time has arrived when
the government of Canada should
perfect organization whereby pre-
sent scientific knowledge should
be made practically_ available for
the suppression of the causes of
preventable diseases."
He supported the motion in an able
address. The motion was seconded
by Dr. T. Chisholm, M. P. for East
Huron, in an address, which will be
found on page 4. That this motion
should be moved by a Liberal and
seconded by a Conservative, indicates
that it is of public importance. Mat-
ters of this kind should not be treated
in a partisan manner, and the mover
and seconder of this motion discharg-
ed their duties faithfully in bringing
the question before the House.
WE'LL MEND 'Ear.—If your Shoes
need a neat patch, half sole, or want
repairing in any way, bring them

The Weather Outlook.
Prof. Hicks' forecasted storms of
wind and rain about Feb. 121h, to be
followed by colder weather. This is
just exactly whet happened, for it
rained in Wingham on Thursday
evening, nearlyall day Friday.
By the 15th, another change to colder
had taken place, and a blizzard set in.
The weather in the latter part of Feb-
ruary will be affected by the approach
of the vernal equinox. Storms may
be expected to culminate about Sun-
day, 23rd, to Tuesday, 25th. Another
storm period. is due as the month
ends, coming to a point on March 1st
and 2nd. Altogether Hicks predicts
much unpleasant
weather er t
n February
dry
and March. If the rules that govern
Mars periods prevail, it will be cold
even up to the end of April, and Hicks
says "cold and precarious far into
May," but he adds—"Let us hope for a
slip in the cogs."
Celebration la Ooderich.
The Orangemen of South Huron
have decided to celebrate the Battle
of the Boyne at Godericb, the famous
and pretty county town of Huron,
and the Orangemen of Ooderich have
the matter well in hand. They pro-
pose
ropose to make the event a monster, up-
to-date, old-time Orange celebration,
and will have the assistance of the.
citizens generally. With the G. T. R.
and its convenient intersections, and
the opening of the C. P. R. from
Guelph, as well as a much improved
boat service, and the expectation of
chartering the steel steamer, "Grey-
hound," of the 'White Star Line, from
Detroit, and a guarantee of a good
passenger list by water from Grand
Fiend, there should be many thou-
sands of visitors. Every detail is
being arranged, and farther an.
nounceinents will be made,
Clinton Bylaw Stands.
At Osgood° Hall, last week, the
Clinton Waterworks By-law appeal
was heard. B. L. Diekiuson (Gode-
rieh) for Johnson, moved to quash by-
law No, 10 of 1007, of the Town of

ments of recent years, the necessity
for its perpetuation. A.t the, close of

and brief addresses given by visitors
and members of the local Lodge. •
Death Of Mrs. Jackson.
The sad death of Mrs. Mary Jackson
aged 71 years, 11 months. and 11 days,
the wife of Mr. Abraham Jackson,
took place at 8 o'clock on Jan, 31st, in
Holy Cross hospital, Calgary. Mrs,
Jackson bad a sudden attack of pneu-
monia on Monday, which necessitated
her removal to the hospital, where
death took place, notwithstanding
every effort put forth by her medical
advisers. Mrs. Jackson removed to
Calgary four years ago from Blnevale,
and was living on a ranch one mile
west of Calgary. She was a staunch
member of the Methodist church, and
dearly loved for her kind and gener-
ous disposition by a large circle of
friends and acquaintances. Deceased
was out to church on the Sunday pre.
vious to her death, and her sudden
demise was it great shock to the fami-
ly and friends. Had she lived until
Feb, 4th (the day of her burial) she
would have been married 51 years,
She leaves to mourn her, a husband
and family of three daughters and
three sons. They are : Mrs. Harrison
and Mrs. Bragg, Edmonton ; Mrs.
Leech, Detroit ; Thomas, Charles and
Kersey Jackson of Calgary. The fune-
ral took place from the residence of
her son, Thomas, West Calgary, to
the Union cemetery. Rev, G. W.
Kerby conducted a short service at
the house.
Electric Light Commissioners.
In another column will be found the
By-law to be submitted for the
approval of the electors on March
23rd. This By-law authorizes the
transference of the management of
the Electric Light plant from the
Town Council to three Commission-
ers, of whom, the Mayor of the Town
will be one. The Council met on Fri-
day evening to consider the By-law,
which had been prepared to include
the Electric Light and the Water-
works. On fuller discussion, it • was
decided to let the Waterworks remain
under the control of the Council. The
By-law was • therefore changed to
cover the Electric Light plant only,
and the Council met on Saturday
evening and gave the By-law its first
and second readings. This By-law
should be carefully read that it may
be understood. The fact that the
Mayor of the Town for the tune being
is always one of the Commissioners,
keeps the Council in touch with the
Commissioners. As to the powers of
the Commissioners, we understand
that they have the"saune control and
powers as the Council in the matter of
the plant. The advantage to be gain-
ed is in allowing them to give their
whole thought to the plant, without
having other matters of municipal
administration to take up their atten-
tion. Besides, it is expected that at
least two members of the Commission
will remain frbin year to year, and
thus prevent the plant falling into the
hands of a new comtnittee, caused by
changes in the annual election of the
Town Council, The Commissioners
should be mon of good juclgtnent and
foresight, men who have something
at stake in the town, and loyal
enough to its interests to devote a
portion of their Lime to the work
before them. That there is work
ahead of thern, none can deny, for it is
generally admitted that the plant
should be put into good trim as soon
as possible, and with the strictest
regard to good management and
econotny. Hence a great deal depends
upon the Commissioners elected. As
there is no salary attached to the
office, it will not be a sinecure, but
then it will afford an opportunity for
the (lommissionei's to render the
Town good service, by putting the
plant in first-class condition. Potent'.
ately, there are a number of good men
available for the position, head the
1#y -law carefully. The nomination of
Commissioners will bo held on Match
17, in the Commit Chamber, and the
election (if neeessal•y) on the satire day
